����AV has joined the Alliance of Art Research Universities (a2ru) as an institutional member. This action uniquely positions George Mason among other R1 institutions to support an emerging research culture in the arts.

Students in the Center for Adaptive Systems of Brain-Body Interactions (CASBBI) NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program learn how to apply interdisciplinary, community-focused research to find solutions to the world’s grand challenges. 

In the quest to combat Alzheimer's disease, George Mason professor Abolfazl Safikhani is working with neuroscientists and imaging experts at the University of Washington’s Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) to pioneer groundbreaking advancements in biomarker identification. 

Carolyn Drews-Botsch, professor of global and community health, will be traveling to Ireland on a Fulbright in the fall of 2024 for this hybrid teaching and research role.

These experts explored how George Mason's research is powering key industrial segments, including bioscience, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, power engineering and shipbuilding.

George Mason researcher Andrew Peterson is part of a team that worked to identify key ethics and policy issues related to the integration of psychedelic therapies into clinical practice and areas for further research and deliberation.

����AV will be the home of the $19.5 million recently approved Landolt NASA Space Mission that will put an artificial “star” in orbit around the Earth. George Mason faculty and students will work together with the NASA and NIST and nine other organizations for a first-of-its-kind project for a university in the Washington, D.C., area.

Research by Iulia Fratila, assistant professor in ����AV’s College of Public Health, provides novel insights into attitudes and motivations among cannabis users aged 18-30. 

George Mason is the home for the new $19.5 million NASA Landolt Space Mission. Led by the College of Science’s Peter Plavchan, with the College of Engineering and Computing, this mission will launch an artificial star in orbit to help scientists calibrate telescopes and measure brightness.

����AV scientists, nurses, and researchers in the College of Public Health have just entered the second cycle of a National Institutes of Health (NIH) program called Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO).

The controversy about biased policing seems to draw endless fuel from race-based differences in public perception. Simply put, the vast majority of White citizens in the United States believe the police are doing a good job, including on issues of racial equality, while a similar percentage of Black citizens hold the opposite opinion. Brad Greenwood, professor of information systems and operations management, researches how digital technologies are bringing unprecedented transparency to police practices.
